Jersey: International Centre For Philanthropy

Philanthropy is important for many families, with increasing numbers establishing new structures to support particular altruistic causes that they identify with, whether those causes are technically charitable or not.

Jersey is an attractive choice of jurisdiction in which to establish such structures for a variety of reasons. Chief among these are that the Island offers:

• stability (politically, economically and geographically);
• a robust and highly regarded regulatory régime;
• a well-respected and independent judicial system;
• a depth and breadth of experience amongst its professional advisers;
• legislation which places a strong emphasis on the importance of flexibility, allowing for the creation of structures tailored to individual client requirements.
